Standard-Bred Italian (}ueen-Bee Free ! 



For Sending One New Subscriber. 



As has been our custom heretofore we offer to mail a fine, Un- 

 tested Italian Queen to the person who complies with the follow- 

 ing conditions, all of which must be strictly followed: 



1. The sender of a new subscriber must have his or her own 

 subsc:iption paid in advance at least to the end of this year 



2. Sending your own name with the ,?1.00 for the Bee Journal 

 will not entitle you to a Queen as a premium. The sender must 

 lie already a paid-in-advance subscriber as above, and the new sub- 

 scriber must be a NEW suljscriber; which means, further, that 

 the new subscriber has never had the Bee Journal regularly, or at 

 least not for a whole year previous to his name being sent in as a 



new one; and, also, the new subscriber must not be a member of the same family where 

 the Bee Journal is already being taken. 



We think we have made the foregoing sufficiently plain so that no error need be 

 made. Our Premium Queens are too valuable to throw away— they must be earned in 

 a legitimate way. They are worth working for. 



We will book the orders as they come in and the Queens will be mailea 

 Will you 1. live one or morel 



It you cannot gifX a new subscriber, and want one of these Queens, we wiJ send tne 

 American Bee Journal a year and the Queen— bnth for only §1.50. Address,

raence so early that the bees would be strong 

 for the orange bloom. There can be no ques- 

 tion but that the citrus bloom is rich with 

 nectar, else it would not fill the entire atmos- 

 phere with such delightful perfume. I have 

 not any doubt but the honey from this source 

 would be of the very I lest flavor. This year 

 net a little has been gathered, I believe that 

 more attention to this winter bloom might be 

 wisely given. The reason that we have it is 

 that we bring Australian trees here, and as 

 they home at bloom in our winter, they con- 

 tinue the habit after they are brought here. 

 Our genial winters make the trees slow to 

 change the date of blooming. A. J. Cook.

Bees Wintered Well 



My bees were taken out of the cellar about 

 3 weeks ago, and I was very w^l pleased with 

 the way they wintered. I put away 36 col- 

 onies and took out 35 in fine condition, the 

 one that was dead (I find by referring to my 

 record) being queenless last fall. 



The colony in which I put a queen, secured 

 last fall, stored 30 pounds of comb honey 

 after that, and it is good and strong now. She 

 is a fine one. Wm. H. Root.

Ideal Spring for the Bees 



This has been an ideal spring for the bees. 

 Since fruit-trees began to bloom there has 

 not been a day but that the bees could work. 

 They seem to have plenty of brood, but are 

 not very strong in supplies, so that I will let 

 them clean up a lot of second-class sections. 



I am starting in with a spring count of 25 

 colonies. S, C. Rearick.

Langstroth on the 

 Honey-Bee 



Revised by Pa dant— L atest Edition. 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and oug^ht to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $2.00 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year, with S3. 00.
